Mountain West Wire

Jeremy and Andy are back to go over the last week-plus of Mountain West hoops. There were not a lot of games over the break so the movement in our power poll is minimal. They go over the hilarious results which feature St. Mary's crushing and being crushed by the Mountain West.

Boise State is not ranked but their schedule plays out nicely and could realistically be 20-1 heading into its final two series when they play San Diego State and Utah State.

Also, rankings are dumb but they matter for fan pride and San Diego State should be ranked.

Jeremy and Matt are back to preview the final Mountain West bowl game which features San Jose State taking on MAC champion Ball State in the Arizona Bowl. There is the chance that this game could see a lot of points as that is what these two teams are known for.

Ball State has skated by with winning all but two of the games by a single score, so there is a chance for that tide to turn against San Jose State. The defense and offense that the Spartans are presenting is nothing that Ball State has seen all year.
